ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the effect of mirror therapy and sensory reeducation on sensory function recovery after thumb recon-struction with second toe transplantation. Methods Forty patients after thumb reconstruction with second toe transplantation from January, 2011 to January, 2014 were divided into control group (n=20) and training group (n=20). Both groups accepted routine nursing and rehabili-tation, while the training group accepted mirror therapy and sensory reeducation training in addition. They were followed up for six to eigh-teen months after operation (average 9.3 months) with the two-point discrimination (2-PD) of transplanted toe pulp. Results 2-PD was (7.15±1.15) mm in the training group, very shorter than (10.23±2.23) mm of the control group (t=5.4898, P<0.001). Conclusion The mirror therapy combined with sensory reeducation training can improve the sensory function of the finger pulp that transplanted from the second toe.
